Please read the rules before posting. Serving 6,547,382 posts!Soyjak.st (the current domain for Soyjak.party, also known as The Sharty) is a major anonymous imageboard dedicated to the "Soyjak" meme culture and serves as the primary spiritual successor to 4chan’s defunct /qa/ (Question & Answer) board. 1. Key Dates and Registration Original Launch: The site was first launched as soyjak.party on September 20, 2020, by a pseudonymous 4chan user known as Soot. Current Domain Registration (soyjak.st): The .st domain was registered on September 26, 2024. The community migrated to this TLD (and others like .soy) following various hosting and domain stability issues with the original .party extension. First Wayback Machine Capture: While the original site has captures dating back to late 2020, the first captures for the soyjak.st URL appeared in October 2024, shortly after the domain was activated. 2. What is the site? Soyjak.st is a "Boutique Chan" that focuses almost exclusively on the creation, iteration, and "variant" posting of Soyjaks (MS Paint-style edits of the Wojak meme). The /qa/ Refugee Crisis: The site saw a massive influx of users in late 2021 after 4chan's administration permanently closed the /qa/ board. These users brought with them a specific, fast-paced, and highly ironic posting style known as "Soyspeak." Ownership History: The site has changed hands several times, often marked by community drama. Ownership transitioned from Soot (founder) to Kuz (2022), then to Doll (2023), Froot (August 2023), and is currently managed by an administrator known as Quote. Culture: The site is known for its highly insular slang (e.g., "gem," "coal," "chud," "brimstone") and a philosophy of "total soyjak victory." It has gained notoriety for its involvement in various internet "raids" and its antagonistic relationship with mainstream social media. 3. What does the name mean? Soyjak: A portmanteau of "Soy" (referring to the "soy boy" pejorative for a perceived lack of masculinity) and "Wojak" (the original Polish internet character). It refers to the specific caricatures of over-excited or distraught men used to mock modern internet consumers. st: The country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for São Tomé and Príncipe. Like many niche sites, it was likely chosen for its brevity and availability as a "safe" harbor for controversial content. The Sharty: A common community nickname for the site, which is a portmanteau of "Soyjak" and "Party."
